Blurb about Decartes

[F]or laymen we breathe through the lungs. Descartes said that{} air gets pulled into the lungs, and is absorbed into the blood, and the blood carries it to the rest of the body. That's what he felt the blood vessels were doing, just by doing anatomy. That was [in the] 1600[s] and was in Discourse on the Method. Really, what he was trying to get at, too, the whole "I think therefore I am" thing was the starting point. Which, that's the kind of logic we need to use again, as it gets us further than having to rigidly define everything, and pick at hyper technicalities. The principle is true, but the particulars are a little bit different. We need the principles, to move to the particulars, not the particulars to move to the principles. That's the basic categorical fallacy everyone's making in academia, and is causing us to lose everything we know.

I can think of scholars who disregard Papias' fragment, when half a dozen fragments say Papias knew St. John. And there, we have two fragments of a corroborated chain linking two Gospels to witnesses, and a first century saint who knew other witnesses, or heard from those who knew witnesses: and another two fragments, that say Papias dictated the book from John, corroborating again, another chain of witness. It's an important part of scholarship to move to the principle and not nullify the facts.

Between two numbers are infinite points, so if we focus on the infinite gap between Being, we never arrive at it. Which is the fundamental flaw of Western Philosophy, is to remove essence from the equation, which essentially removes body from the world, and breaks down all logical chains.

Also, consider, "Antichrist" is disembodied, so that there is no body. There can be no statement "Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh", for to Antichrist, all is incorporeal and built through magic. It is sustained through his will, and not God's. As is the Gnostic belief of the Body and Soul being dualisms, and the Body was evil but the Soul was good. This is not the way we understand it, if we're going to have science. The body and soul are good, and are inseparable from one another. What happens to the body, is experienced by the soul, and vice versa. What is the body, but isn't the soul is not whole, nor is what is the soul, but not the body. For the Body without a Soul or the Soul without a Body is but a demonic apparition, and ceases to be. It is to be doubleminded, and therefore, at variance from the established Word of God. Therefore, to be nothing, and the Atheist Philosophers preach this doctrine, which how can there be any being or existence without God? That is the question... and Philosophers have never answered it, and likely could not. Or else they would have.
